ARTEMUs WARDS WARNING.

James Parton, in writing of "Artemus
Ward" gives the cause of his early death
in these words: Wherever he lectured,
whether in New England, California, or
London, there was sure to be lot OF
young fellows gather around him, and 60
home with him to his hotel, order sup
per, and spend half the night in telling
stories and singing songs.
"To any man this will be fatal in time;
but when the nightly carouse follows an
evenings performance before an audi
ence, and is succeeded by journey the
next day, the waste of vitality is fearfully
rapid. Five years of such life finished
poor Charles Browne.
He was not deep drinker. He was
not man of strong appetites. 1t was
the nights wasted in conviviality which
his system needed for sleep that sent him
to his grave forty years before his time.
For men OF his profession, for all ed
itors, literary men, and artists, there is
only one safety-teetotaliem He should
have taken the advice OF stage-driver
on the plains to whom he once offered
some whisky, end commend it strongly
to every young man: Il don't drink, I
won't drink, and don't like to see any,
body else drink. I'm of the opinion of
those mountains-keep your top cool.
They've got snow and I've got brains;
that's all the difference"

prison." Visiting these, strengthening
and helping them. Think of it'll what
heavenly employment These hungry
ones, these thirsty ones, ministering to
them, and thus working just over there
on the spiritual side Of existence, for the
dear, loving Master, whose benign sp-
provsl will come to these spiritual work
ers. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto
one of these least,"-these poorest out
casts from earth,-"ye have done it unto
me-" In conclusion, hoping you may
come to see, and believe in the blessed
truths Of gospel of love, whose effects
are to secure the ultimate redemption of
all souls from Gin and misery, 1 remain
sincerely, affectionately yours,

HUMILITY.

Mrs. Susanna Wesley, writing of the
services which she was holding in the
rectory-house on Sunday evenings, in
behalf Of the poor of Epworth, says :
"But l never burst positively presume
to hope that God would make use of
me as an instrument of doing good /;
the farthest ever burst go was, 1T may
be; who can tell With God all things
are possible. will resign myself to
him : or as George Herbert better ex-
presses it,
only. since God doth often make
OF lowly matter. for high uses meet,
/ throw me at his feet;
There will lie until my Maker seek
For some mean stuff whereon TO show his skill;
Then is my time"
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-08-13

ness find an applied place in our rela-
lions one with another.
1t is obvious that we may be con-
WINGED ofreligious truth, and yet fail to
get the highest blessings. We know of
people who ofttimes believe enough,
but do not put their belief into practice.
While conviction of truth is of very
great Importance, Of far greater i'm
portance is its rigid application.
If believe and practice forgiveness,
and thus know that all alienation be-
tween myself and God is removed, 1
may sin, and in the SHINING become
discouraged in my Christian life-in
my endeavors to be better; yet that
knowledge which is gained by strong
conviction of truth, applied to my life
will give me courage even in the midst
Of my discouragements. Thus must
there exist, not only belief that there
can be and is such thing as spiritual
insight, but this must be tested, made
personal by you and me, through our
own exertions in endeavoring each for
himself.
We cannot have the highest intellect
ual knowledge without hard study and
thoughtfulness. No more can we have
the highest religious knowledge with
out study and thoughtfulness in regard
to religion. If we would as Christians
learn of the deepest and most holy
life-if we would conquer dishearten-
ings and discouragements,-w must
have our convictions of truth sure and
certain, and honest and intelligent as it
is possible for them to be; and with
this there must be an application of
those convictions to our common life.
Thus will discouragements, which
hinder US in our upward journey, take
wings and fly away and dwell with us
no more. And rising in spirituality
above them all, we shall feel that as we
have become victors over the discour-
agements of our Christian life, and we
can join with our Master in that con-
quering expression, sit is finished"

Think not thou canst sigh sigh,
And thy Maker is not nigh;

battle. To say, 81 cannot" in matters of
daily duty is weak and feeble; to say it of
